> Part of it comes down to what you mean by AGI. Is it a computer that is convincing as AGI? Or is it AGI that is essentially like human consciousness in nature?
If someone or something fools me into thinking it is intelligent, then for me it is intelligent.
When I discuss with a human, am I really intelligent and possessing consciousness, or am I just regurgitating, summarizing, deriving ideas and fooling my interlocutor (and myself) into thinking that I am intelligent? Am I really thinking? Does that matter, as long as I give the impression that I am a thinking being?
Of course I don't expect a computer to think in a way similar to humans. Even humans can think in vastly different manners.
